Safe Streets Havens

NYC Safestreets is an alliance of businesses in Williamsburg and Greenpoint that women can identify through the placement of the SafeStreets sticker in the window. By placing the stickers in their window they are indicating to pedestrians and women that they are a haven.

What is required of a safe haven business?

An understanding and awareness that women can be subject to violence when walking alone at night. Your business can function as a haven by offering momentary shelter to use the phone for a local call to arrange for a ride or company.
